TGIF - Week 1 almost done

So my ring is trying to fall off, which is kind of sad because hubby getting it fixed was one of my Christmas presents and pretty soon I'll have to take it off and wait until I'm done losing weight to get it re_sized smaller. But for the next ring I buy I won't have to get it re-sized bigger, I can just take the standard size 7! OR - What if I have to get it re-sized SMALLER?! How crazy would that be?? I've always be a size 9.5-11 in rings and pretty soon I'm going to be able to buy "fashion" jewellery from store that sell those "cheapo" rings (quotations used because that shit is cheaply made, but not cheap).
I'm really excited to think about the fact that if I STICK TO THE DIET REGIMEN, I WILL be wearing those size 5 skinny jeans I have hanging on my wall THIS SUMMER, IN LAS VEGAS! Ok, maybe jeans are not the smartest things to wear to Vegas in summertime, but unless my legs look absolutely FABULOUS I will not be showing them!!!!
I don't believe that losing all this weight is going to make me feel better about my individual body parts, especially because I imagine that I'm going to have lose skin like all of my older counterparts doing the diet. Yes, I know I'm at least 20 years younger than most of them and my skin has a lot more elasticity, but let's face it, I'm fat, and my body probably won't look like a normal person my age's body. On the other hand, maybe I'll get lucky, like I always have been regarding my awesome features and body and luckiness, maybe I'll have an awesome non-flabby body when I'm done with all of this!
Thinking about the bad things that could happen with losing all this weight probably shouldn't be my focus, right? I should probably think of the people MY AGE, and even a few older people who have lost tons of weight and don't have flabby skin. I can always take baths in lotion and do some of those skin tightening wrap thingies they have at fancy-schmancy spas.
What I'm REALLLLLY excited about for this Summer is doing my nails. It will be the first time I won't be a fat chick with fake nails! As a nail technician, I will NEVER tell anyone they are too fat for fake nails. It's never been said to me and I will never say it. BUT--- My nails are TINY and my hands are FAT, so it looks really weird to me to have fake nails, although I really love them... for about a week.
I always get excited about doing my "Vegas Nails" every year. I love having an excuse to have super sparkly, long, and LOUD nails. Maybe I'll even let my real nails grow longer so I can have super long fake nails for Vegas. STRIPPER NAILS! Hahaha, yeah that would be friggen great.

So with all my whining, dreaming, and ranting this morning I have killed an hour of "Gee, I'm bored. I would really like to eat something, because when I'm bored I like to eat...." So that's pretty promising.

I'm down 2lbs today, 8# since Jan. 1.
8lbs in 6 days can't be beat right?

Now I just have to figure out what I want to eat today. Whether I want to have protein shakes or another protein day with tons of chicken like yesterday.
I really don't feel like protein shakes, or the lettuce that I'm supposed to eat with the chicken.
Have I mentioned that I HATE HATE HATE lettuce?
Yeah, I do. It's gross. I'm an iceberg lettuce person, and that's "not healthy enough, it doesn't have enough nutrients..." blah blah.
I even tried making it into a salad yesterday with green leaf lettuce, mushrooms, green onions, salt and pepper, some Italian seasonings... It still sucked.
Give me some good old broccoli or green beans any day, I HATEEEEE leaf greens.

 If I think of anything to say I'll probably write more later, but for now I'm going to go have some egg whites for my wonderful breakfast. The only thing crappy about dieting is getting used to food that really doesn't taste that great, no matter how many seasonings you put into it and how much you smile about it all. I will probably be over the anxiety of eating crap like egg whites in about a week and be all happy-go-lucky Happy happy joy joy about it later one, especially when I get back into the 220s and below.
OH! That reminds me, have I mentioned that I'm thinking of just doing a super long round? (As long as my weight loss stay around 1#/day average) I feel like taking breaks from hCG is what really makes me fall off the wagon and fail in subsequent rounds. I get too used to eating normally, So maybe I just should never eat normally but stay on the diet as long as it takes me to gt to goal. (Again, as long as I average 1#/day). Of course as a female, I have a stronger chance of not getting the losses I really want, since men lose the weight alot faster than women and can normally average 1-2lbs/day. All I need to keep me focused and interested in the food and dieting is that 1#/day. Honestly I know I could do it if I tried. SO I WILL TRY!!! And I will make all of my goals, and someday (like nearer to Christmas 2012, or Apocalypse 2012 - whichever you believe will be happening) I WILL BE SOMEBODY'S THINSPIRATION!!! It's kind of exciting right?

I really need to keep in ind that I possibly won't get the sagging skin and kangaroo pouch thing, because I'm super young. What I'm more worried about than that is really literal "saddlebags" on my thighs, and a saggy butt, because I have huge thighs and a giant butt.
But in all honestly I think my age is going to save me from those consequences of having ever been fat.
We will see. -crosses fingers- I really don't want saggy skin anywhere.
I'm not so worried about my stretch marks either for some reason, I guess because I've never really noticed them I'm not so worried about them. I do notice them more now that I'm thinner, but I just figure with plenty of Dead Sea lotion they'll disappear like they always have.

Ok, ENOUGH RANTING!!!
Have a great day with great losses my friend!!!! <3

Halloween Challenge VLCD 7 - SICK

Yes, I spent this weekend trying to "Miniload" and went out partying and having fun for the first time in almost 4 years.
Got up to 242.6 (from 237) and this morning I was 238 again. AND YESTERDAY I WENT TO OLIVE GARDEN! I had the never-ending pasta bowl!

I'm dead sick, and feel like crap, for info see ---> my VLOG <--- Click There

So today I've had the leftovers from OG, a 7oz full fat Fage, organic tortilla chips, and Campbell's chicken noodle soup. I'm going to have half a cantaloupe before bed to counteract the salt from the soup and hope all that crap doesn't hurt me too much, but I'm sick and when you're sick you want to be pampered.

I did go to Fry's and Whole Foods tonight and got some soups (broccoli and Portobello Mushrooms) and Coconut Flour to make P(technically 3) sticky rolls, that I'm going to make and eat tomorrow (would that count as part of a fat fast?) ...I bought some half and half just in case it would - cream costs too much.

I made some Choco D (cocoa crack) with peanut butter tonight. It was just like a dark chocolate Reeses! YUM.
I've been making Cocoa crack waaaay too well these past couple of weeks, I'm becoming addicted. And I don't even like it! lol. Maybe Tom is lurking somewhere, even though I thought he just left like the day I started Loading...a week ago.
Maybe it's jsut because I'm sick and feel like a giant baby.

Anyways it's jsut about bedtime so I better get going, sorry I've been MIA!!
School is kicking my ass!!!

Halloween Challenge VLCD 1

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't written in a while, I've been MIA and video blogging on YouTube  <--click the YouTube link for my channel.

So this weekend started on Sept. 10 and I loaded both Saturday and Sunday and only gained 1lb! - I know I SUCK at loading! I did eat like an entire pizza by myself yesterday. No gain.
Maybe I should do one more load day?
Hmmm. Idk. Maybe I'll just do weekend mini-loads. I always say I'm going to do those and then I never do it. So we'll see.

I have no meal ideas planned out, and barely anything to eat (need to go shopping), so today I think I'm going to end up making some beef stir-fry since I have the meat in the freezer and broccoli and onions and stuff in the fridge.

Well, we'll see, and then I'll update later on with calories and everything I ate. Should be a short list since all i have is beef and veggies at the moment lol. TTYL!

Beer is BAD

I had three pints of PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) last night, and a pretty good amount of peanuts, and OVERNIGHT, GAINED 4LBS!!!
I was floored.

So I had Seafood pasta tonight and tomorrow I'm doing an egg day and this week I will be replacing meals with juicing.

There's my crappy update of the day lol.

2ND VLOG!!! P3

Following this post is my Vlog that I made this afternoon before I went to class.
After class I ate half a brownie. YUM. bad bad bad, but YUM. lol.

Then I went home and made stir-fry and gave everyone else buckwheat noodles, but i didn't have any. =[

Then I went to my next class, and when I got home I made a small steak (probably about 150g with a cup of yogurt, strawberries, and walnuts, YUM.

So we'll see how I do in the morning, tomorrow IDK if I'm going to do an egg day or just make tomorrow a juicing fast day... I never know for sure what I'm going to do...

Cleaner is Better

So with yesterday's 0% Fage and 2% Fage, and beef and veggie stir-fry (even though I made lo mein noodles, and ate them), has me down 1lb! Not much to be excited for, but I still have to get rid of 3lbs more to be at LIW.
And then I have to lose 10lbs more to be at the weight I want to start next round at!!!! (225lbs) So I'll even have the SLIGHTEST chance of making it to 200lbs by the end of the Halloween challenge - Which I was thinking of extending to make it into Onederland, but I really like the thought of being in P4 for Halloween so I can eat some of the candy =]
We shall see! I don't know what I'm doing yet, I could just make Halloween night a planned interruption I suppose. Any ideas?

In other news, waiting as always for my BB cream to get here, hubby takes the mail key to work everyday so I have to wait and hope everyday that when he checks the mail later on, he's holding a package. LOL. Yeah I'm a little bad at being patient, I've been asking him for the past week if we got any packages. >.<

Still waiting for TOM to leave. That bastard.

HATING P3!!!

So as we all know, I'm great at stabilizing, but I FUCKING HATE P3!!!
I'm not great at stabilizing until I stop being a dumbbutt, and eat slightly normally. Which I haven't been doing. But I'm not one of those people who's going to use college as an excuse. If anything college makes it easier to NOT EAT. BUT, it also makes it easier to stop for pizza on the way home because I'm too lazy to cook dinner between or after classes.

I have a Hungry Howie's addiction.... Especially when their large pizzas are only $5, and they're soooooo yummy!
I'll do a food blog about them someday. Apparently most people have never heard of Hungry Howie's....Of course I never had either until my friend's birthday out in Surprise....and when I went over there to visit and we got hungry so I wanted to order the pizza she had on her birthday....Anywho! LOVE IT. Papa John's USED to be my favorite commercial pizza joint, but NOT ANYMORE.

I still have to get my History book, tomorrow preferably, since I have a test on due on Tuesday.
I already got this week's assignment for English done (due next Saturday), and Tuesday's DUE assignment for History done, as of today, I just, like I said, have to get my textbook for History class (they were out and on order when I went to get it last week),....Oh and I am going to get a printer, since I have to print out my assignment for History class this week. And there's the fact that it would jsut be nice to HAVE a printer...COUPONS!!!!! I am totally destined for CRAZYCOUPONLADY status whenever I get a printer and get time to go to all the sites and print out coupons....and go shopping. Usually going to the store is like CLOCKWORK for me, but lately, I'm like, "blegh whatever."

So I've gained back 4#, I'm sitting at 239.5. WHICH I AM NOT PROUD OF. But I'm not sure if eating is the problem or if I've gained purely because of TOM. Who is visiting, even though I wish I could kick his ass out of here!!!

Took my Apidexin today, which I have been too lazy to do since starting P3 (thanks again TOM), but maybe I'll keep getting up early enough to take it and I'll shoot this weight back down.

Hopefully my attempt at a juicing fast next week will also help get rid of this gained weight, and a ton of water weight... Because I'm going to try sticking to that for a week and see how that goes as a pre-P2 cleanse sort of thing.

My skin is realllllly getting bad breakouts for some reason, on my temples... I don't normally get acne anymore, one or two here and there, yeah, but not like an actual BREAKOUT. It's annoying.
Can't wait for my BB cream to get here, it should arrive this coming week sometime. I'M EXCITED!
OH. Also, just found some Frederic Fekkai conditioner for $5 at Marshall's yesterday, can't wait to try it out and give you all a review. (I guess I should probably start a beauty-review blog?) Let me know what you think aboout the idea. Got some new stuff I'd love to tell about sometime.


Nothing else to talk about tonight, I don't think...
Oh, I think the only hard thing about college so far....AND about HCG, is being a mom.
Shit is not made for moms.
If you ever think about having kids, that's awesome, but wait until you're old, like 30. I feel like I've lost my entire life, you know, the "college kid goes out and has fun" sort of life. It's going to be really sad when I start doing all that kind of stuff when I'm like 30 and my son's old enough to watch himself while I go out.
I would say wait until your 30s or don't have kids at all.
It kind of makes me feel sorry for my own mother, lol. She finally got her first child all grown up and it's her turn to have fun, and then out I come. Not that it stopped her from having her own life, but not until I was 5 and would stay home by myself (my insistence, with my neighbor-lady checking in, or me playing at her house all day). I was HORRIBLE to babysitters. Always independent, if my mom wasn't there, then no-one should be. Lol. I suspect my son will be the same way, but he'll also be brought up to be super independent and naturally intelligent like I was.


Alrighty, going to smoke a fag and go to bed, nighty night!

down 1.5

Can't remember exactly, but this morning I was down 1.5-2#

Worried about tomorrow since I had in-person classes today and I was running around before them,  so I didn't eat anything except a couple of peaches, and then around 5-5:30 I had pizza since I didn't have time to cook anything before I had to leave for my next class.

Trying to find a babysitter is my newest task.
Apparently the government doesn't care about childcare anymore.

What I Ate 8/22/11

Lets see...what DID I eat......?

Hamburger patty, nectarine, one quarter-sized cookie, diet rite soda...
and then later after going to the college for 3-4 hours and getting dehydrated and shit and depressed and ahhhh TODAY SUCKED.
We stopped at McDonald's on the way home.
I had a grilled chicken club sandwich, minus one side of the bun....not the one with mayo - i ate that one lol.
1 small mango-pineapple smoothie
3 chicken nuggets - maybe 4

Don't know and don't care about the calories today!!!


Weighed in about an hour ago (1am) and was only .5 above this morning so I'm expecting a loss in the morning so far. We'll see what it says before I go to bed before I decide what it's going to say in the morning.

I have my first in-person classes tomorrow, AND I HAVE NO TEXTBOOKS!

Lucky Duck I Am!

Only gained .5# from yesterday's crazy eating!!!
So today and the rest of ....well as long as I still have HCG left...I'll have to look and see about how much I do have....eek. Anyways, until I run out of HCG, I NEED TO LOSE AT LEAST 5#!!! Which I totally know is do-able. And I don't have to worry about any crazy food exscursions because it's not the weekend and we don't have money to go out lol.
I was wanting to go out this weekend and do a new food blog once I'm into P3, but we're not going to have the funds to do it this week. Maybe I should blog about whatever food I MAKE. Lol. Yeah, I'm SURE people would be interested in THAT *rolls eyes*.

As the end of the month is rolling around once again, I need to ask you all a favor! Can you PLEEEEEASE click the google ads on my page? 
I know it's SUPER ANNOYING of me to ask, but there's not point in anyone clicking anything if there's not enough to make a difference. You guys are amazing, and if I get enough add's I'll be able to try out new things and do reviews on them. If you have anything you want to beeee reviewed before YOU try it, let me know! I would love to be your Guinea-pig!


I did end up being in ONE picture from yesterday and I have to say, I was surprised when MY LEGS LOOKED ALMOST A NORMAL SIZE!!! Instead of looking like a couple of huge tree-trunks. It got me excited. Especially after some ignorant drunk jerk asshole called me a roly-poly yesterday! And him and his muscles were bigger than my entire body. Fucking steroid freak. He probably falls over and does somersaults trying to find his dick!

Sorry, felt like ranting there. One more reason I'm a white person who hates white people....ok I hate all people. But white preppy/bmx/steroid freaks are amongst the worst people I've ever come across, and in THIS city, there's ALOT of bad people to cross paths with.
NOBDOY IS FUCKING RAISED TO HAVE ANY SORT OF FUCKING MANNERS ANYMORE.
Some people should be put in jail just for having kids if they're not going to raise them right.
Ok apparently I wasn't done ranting yet lol.
I hate how ignorant people are of others.

All this work I've done and now I'm back in elementary school getting called names by asshole white jocks.
It's really depressing and makes me want to eat. And I'M NOT an emotional eater usually. I'm an "I want my mommy and daddy" sort of emotional person.

It makes me feel like all I'm doing is for nothing if people can't even see it.

MY HCG RECIPES FOR P2!!!

So I decided it was about time to put some HCG-friendly recipes on here since I know alot of people have trouble figuring out what to eat and how to make it, and most of the recipes out there are for P3!

Some recipes mix veggies, so if you don't want to risk that, just use more of one of the veggies and count it as your vegetable for that meal.

Stuffed Cabbage
100g sliced/chopped sirloin (can also use ground beef)
7 Large leafs of cabbage (I just use a head of green cabbage)
1/4 small onion - diced
salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley flakes or fresh parsley - to taste

For this I spray the pan with Pam and cook the meat and onions together with seasonings in a pan. Steam 4 leaves of cabbage in a small amount of water in a small saucepan, until it's soft enough to roll.
take three of the leaves of cabbed and slice thinly, and then mince to make it sort of "rice" looking, and when meat is almost cooked, throw the cabbage into the mixture.
Spoon mix and cabbage rice onto cabbage leaves, roll them up and hold together with a toothpick.


Cabbage and Tomato Soup
1 Med. Tomato - sliced or diced
1 C Cabbage - roughly chopped
1C chicken broth
1-2 C water (depending on how strong your chicken broth is)
2tbs diced onion - to taste (use about 1/8-1/4 small onion)
2tbs bell pepper - to taste (i use about 1/4-1/2 medium size)
salt, pepper, garlic powder, red chili powder, parsely - to taste

Bring to a boil and let cook on med-low heat for 15-30mins depending on how cooked you like your veggies.
Sometimes I'll chop and add in my 100g of beef or chicken and simmer it with the broth and water while i'm chopping the veggies. YUM.


Beef (or Chicken) Fajitas
Lettuce leaves
100g your choice of chicken or beef - sliced into strips and halved
1/4 small onion, sliced into strips
1/4 med bell pepper, sliced into strips
salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cilantro, 1 tbs lemon juice - to taste

Saute meat, onions, peppers and seasonings until done, wrap in lettuce leaves taco style - Fast and yummy!


Meatloaf
100g ground beef
1 egg white
1 grissini or melba - crushed
1 small (Roma sized) tomato -diced
1/2 can tomato sauce
1tbs mustard
1/8 small onion -diced
1/8 bell pepper - diced
salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, garlic powder
Personal size loaf pan - I got mine at Ikea for like $1, could also use a small casserole dish or oven-safe bowl.

Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees F.
Mix together diced veggies, beef, egg white, crumbs, tomato, seasonings, and mustard into loaf. Place into loaf pan. Mix tomato sauce with seasonings to taste and pour on top of the loaf as desired. Stick it in the oven and cook for about 30 mins (@ 400) to an hour (@ 350), or until done (use a meat thermometer - done at 165 degrees, or when a toothpick comes out clean of meat.)



Vanilla-Mocha Coffee "Protein Frapp"
2c Ice
2 packets instant coffee (I have Taster's Choice individual pack because it was on sale)
1 Scoop vanilla protein powder (I used body fortress 100% whey - $15 at walmart for 2lbs)
2-3c water
2tsp vanilla
2 packets sweetener & 2tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
(OR 6 drops of chocolate stevia and additional unflavored stevia to taste)

Mix in a blender until desired consistency (add water slowly and as much as YOU want, I like mine a little thick). YUMMY BREAKFAST with about 3g fat. Makes a full blender (5 cups)
You can use this in place of a meal on to go or use as added protein.



As I continue getting bored with food choices I'll try other things and post the recipes.
All of these recipes are my creations because I'm not really one for following recipes, I make stuff up as I go along.

Same As Yesterday

So my weight didn't move, which is MUCH BETTER THAN GAINING.
Tomorrow I plan on gianing though. I was out on the lakes all day and ate alot of stuff I shouldn't have. ALSO, I don't think I've barely drank ANY water at all.
I'll attempt to make up for it tomorrow, hoping to make tomorrow a sort of Fage Day, but with 2% Fage instead of Fage Total (full fat). We'll see how that goes! Yikes.
I have alot to do tomorrow, I have to go into the college and talk to the financial people, and go check into stuff elsewhere.
I might go to the college but I don't feel like sitting around the other place AT ALL. But I do need to find a daycare for Stacy for when I have my first class on Tuesdays and Thursdays.... English Comp I think...

Anyways, I ate egg whites, beef, hamburger, nuts, fruit, and popcorn today. Didn't count calories and don't care about it right now, I'll deal with it tomorrow, I only have to lose 6lbs (from yesterday and today) to make it to my goal of where I want to be at the end of this vial of hCG.
Sooooo. Wish me luck, I think I can lose it in no time if I work a correction or two, and eat as clean as possible.

Hellooo COLLEGE! Down 1# Today

So I was down .5 yesterday, and today I'm down another 1lb! Yay 236!
I weighed before I went to MIL's for dinner and I was at 234.5!
Probably be more in the morning.
I was running around all day getting enrolled and getting my classes, so I didn't eat until like 2.30p and had a nectarine.
So we came to MIL's, and I had 4 tortillas and about 8oz beef. So we'll see, I'm seeing it as sort of a "steak and mug cake day" lol. So we shall hope it doesn't gain or stall me!

I'm guessing I'm around 600cals...probably more like 800.

But I finally got into college and enrolled, and classes start Monday and Tuesday. I'm really excited, but freaked out at the same time because I haven't gone to school in three years.
Haven't decided on a major, but because all the ones I'm thinking of are for the same type of degree I still take basically the same classes and all the same required classes.
I can't decide between History, Chinese, or English.

Ok I'm going to end this, tome to go home, I hate being near my MIL lol.

All Recipes Are From The Book:
From Your Ice Cream Maker by, Coleen and Mark Simmons
Tailored for P3 by ME!

Slow and steady wins the race...

Down .5# this morning.

Also, went to Denny's this morning and had a grilled chicken breast and salad. About 140 cals I think.
I don't know whether to do extra protein or 500 cals today...
I guess we'll see tonight.

Sorry I haven't been updating with what I eat, but I forget to while I'm on my phone only.
Should be going to look at new computers later on today. If not I'll order one for ship-to-store if they don't have any cheap and powerful ones in stock. I need a computer with good graphics and tons of memory.

I'm excited lol. It only puts me one step closer to getting my associates through online classes at a local community college. Then I'll only have to go to University for 2 years I think.
I'll get that sorted out later on.

Have a good one!

Reply to BB

Hi! Sorry it wouldn't let me reply in a comment:
No it wasn't my first VLCD or my frst round.
I don't remember the post you commented on, 8/14 I think? But I had been at my dad's for a week and was basically cheating all over. Not even for hunger, just because when I'm there I eat whatever ends up in front of my face, BAD ANCIENT HABIT.
So I'm trying to get back on track but I bonked up and ate crap yesterday...
Sooo I spent today attempting to fix it.

If this doesn't answer your comment, ask again please lol, I'm really bushed tonight, long day.

And yes I know if I eat clean the urges will subside. :-) I just have to keep telling myself to stick to the plan! I have sooooo far to go still!
Hoping for 200 by Halloween.

No computer....

So hubby broke the comp charger so he's going to get me the new computer I need for school and later we'll buy the plug for the old comp and give it back to my dad.

Until then I'm on my phone.

Gained 2# back from yesterday's horrible escapade.
Did an egg white and protein shake day, right now I'm sitting on 499cals, 9g fat, 21 g carbs, and ----- dun dun dun, 79g PROTEIN! Awesome right!?
I feel great.
Even though I had a emotional breakdown earlier because I spilled my dinner (egg whites) on the floor-through in liquid form. I BAWLED.
Tom should be here soon.

Feeling awesome now, had dinner (bought carton egg whites) and now I'm eating for hubby to get home and I'm ready for bed lol.

I feel skinnier if that makes any difference?
We'll see in the morning.
I really hope I lose something and stay in the freaking 230s!

What I Ate 8/16/11

95% lean hamburger 100g
1 slice American cheese
2 slices onion

hot dog
SF chocolate pudding

totino's party pizza

50% fat for the day - does that mean if I eat 230 more cals of just fat, I can classify today as a fat fast day? =P

Today's total: 777cals


YEAH YEAH I'm not proud of it but that's what I ate, and I'll probably lose, but don't you try it because most people wouldn't lose with half the stuff I eat on P2.

About To See New Numbers!!!

DOWN 2LBS TODAY!!!! So I'm feeling back on track, FINALLY!
Back to where I was when I went to my dad's and ate WHATEVER FELL IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
So , if I lose just 1lb in the morning, I'LL BE SEEING NEW (not previously lost) WEIGHT!!!


OMFG I HATE THE FREAKING INTERNET!!!!!!
I had this entire blog written out and I pushed "publish", and POOOOOOOF!
FUCKING GOOGLE BASTARDS!!!!!
STOP BUYING EVERYTHING I LOVE AND FUCKING IT UP!!!!
I HATE YOU GOOGLE PEOPLE!!!!
(Did I mention that Google flipping ruined YouTube as well? YouTube used to be good before Google bought it and effed it all up.)


Ok, back to re-writing my blog.

So I don't know what I'm going to for meals or eating today. I might have a hamburger for lunch and then have 3 hard boiled eggs for dinner again.
I was thinking about doing 4-1 scoop protein shakes instead of meals for the rest of the week to kick this weight. I could do it every other day, meals, shakes, meals, shakes...
I need to really get rid of 10# this last week I have left of HCG, so I'll be in the 220s for next round (Halloween challenge).

I might do a mini load on Friday or Saturday, to kick start the last week's losses....Unless this is my last week, then I'm screwed. It's all going to go by however much HCG I have left. So I need to kick it into gear RIGHT NOW. To get where I need to be. Losing weight I've already lost is soooooo retarded!!!!! I hate myself for letting it happen. 3 TIMES THESE PAST MONTHS (July-August).
I've only lost 13lbs since July 5th!!!! Ridiculous!
I need to get my ass in gear and get to work on losing this fat if I really want to make it to goal by next spring. I should be able to make it to the 130s by Christmas!!!! BUT I'VE GOT TO GET MY ASS IN CHECK!!!

What I Ate 8/15/11

SOOOOO
Instead of making meatloaf, I made hubby a hamburger and I had 3 hard boiled eggs.

Here's what I ate today:
4oz Lean, thin, low/no fat sirloin steak w/ 1 tbs of mayo
1 SF Hunt's Snack Pack Gello cup
1 Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola
3 Large Hard Boiled Eggs (with yolks)

Grand total: 490 calories!!!!

So I'm done for the day and I have to say, I'm really NOT hungry, just the normal mental cravings...like cookies... LOL

Can't really think of anything else to talk about so I'm going to end this earlier than I normally would. If I think about something later on, I'll update.
